The need to block the use of anonymizing utilities increase!

eclipse79oldacct
Hello, 
I would like to underline the urgent need to block the use of anonymizing utilities. Blocking anonymizing category in Web Security only denies the clients to download these tools. Since many of these softwares don't require an installation, is possible that someone can download it at home for a later use at the office.

So, please vote the request submitted by Chad Clement: Networking: Application Awareness through L7 classification

And please, Astaro, implement it. [:)]

Thank you

    In my experience, this does block the use of anonymizer sites.  If it isn't blocking them, then that may be because you're using the HTTP/S Proxy in a Transparent mode and are allowing https traffic via packet filter.

    Cheers - Bob
